The
idea that ordinary people might contribute to verification of arms
control treaties is not new, but powerful and portable electronic
devices have spread so widely in recent years that societal verification
now seems an imminent reality. Motivated individuals might, for
instance, collect treaty-relevant data through onboard sensors that
smartphones can carry and then transmit the information to multilateral
verification bodies or, as is already happening, share it online Our
new roundtable explores the potential, and pitfalls, of societal
verification. Three articles have just been posted, with more to come
over the next few weeks. I hope you find it of interest.
Best,

Keep the chicken little mommies in the kitchen, let experts decide whether NK's latest coupled or not.
